Concerns are still being raised over the non-payment of resettlement training and the non-availability of transport to move retirees to their retiree locations. Jan-03 The civil defense forces have been disbanded. Cont. /04 school year /04 school year The Government of Sierra Leone Security Forces has taken over security primacy throughout the country. On the 23 rd September 2004, security primacy for Western Area was handed over to Sierra Leone s Security forces being the last step to handing security to the GOSL forces. However, proactive measures like border strengthening are being taken to reassure local population of their safety. Although UNAMSIL is well advanced in its draw down, it remains responsible for ensuring security of the country when requested by the Sierra Leone Government to do so. The final dr aft of the PRSP was discussed at the Tenth DEPAC meeting held on 13 th January The comments made on this draft and the required costing for the implementation of the PRSP have been incorporated and sent to the Executive Boards of the IMF and the World Bank. Primary school gross enrolments continue to increase. Statistics from the Ministry of Education demonstrate an increase from 967,000 pupils in school year 2002/03 to 1,110,000 pupils in 2003/04 school years, an increase of about 15%. Most of the enrolment growth has been concentrated in classes 1-3. The female enrolment rates in primary school stands at 42%, which gives a girls/boys ratio of 71%. The cumulative national coverage as of June 2004 is 48.5%. National coverage for the 1 st Quarter of 2004 was 53% and for the 2 nd Quarter 44%. Recent review of the water sector for the PRSP indicates that national cov erage for potable water is 45%. However district surveys by UNICEF and other partners indicate that there are great disparities among districts with the Northern and Eastern districts recording lower figures than 45%. (Kono: 20% for safe water and 10% for sanitation; Kailahun: 25% for safe water and 14% for sanitation. Water Supply Division estimates the current coverage to be 22% for safe water and 15% for sanitation. 1

Revised public procurement procedures promulgated and operating. Jan-03 Cont. 2003/04 Jun-03 All IDP camps have now been formally closed and cleared with the exception of the Aberdeen Amputee and the Grafton War Wounded camps from which resettlement is ongoing.

Since the start of the repatriation of Sierra Leoneans, a total of 245,739 have been assisted to return with approximately 85% repatriating from Guinea. The suspended Liberian repatriation was restarted after the arrival of UNMIL at the port. Land movement from Guinea was suspended briefly because of the elections. Two way stations have been identified in Kambia and Kailahun for ease of movement of returnees. Air movement from Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Libya, Chad, Guinea Bissau and Ghana continued at a smaller scale. Mass sensitization campaign undertaken by NaCSA and UNHCR in Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Senegal, Mali and Liberia. It is planned that 30,000 Sierra Leoneans will repatriate by June 2004, with the majority returning from Guinea and Liberia. Tripartite Agreement signed with Gambia and Senegal. Between January-June, a total of 15,557 returnees have been received: from Guinea (5,578), Liberia (9,940) and other countries (39). The SHARP Secretariat has undertaken its first antenatal prevalence study from eight testing sites nationwide. The results reveal a national prevalence rate of 3% although the prevalence rate in the capital Freetown is 4%. The Secretariat has initiated the process of decentralization of its activities through close collaboration with the district councils. A three-month work programme has been developed to facilitate this process. In addition, in collaboration with UNIFEM and UNDP, five-day capacity enhancement training on mainstreaming HIV/AIDS into District Councils has been conducted. Centres have also been established in each district Hospital for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission. A Rapid Result Initiative (RRI) is being piloted and the results obtained from the RRI shows an increase in the number of people opting for VCCT from ,000 within three month. The results also ref lect an increase in the number of clients reporting their partners for STI treatment. The Government of Sierra Leone embarked on a comprehensive reform program for public procurement with the creation of a high level steering committee in March The initial proposal for the design of the reform program was completed in June 2003 under guidance from the UNDP and the World Bank. The reform program consists of the introduction of new legislation to better guide procurement activities, new regulations to support that legislation and extensive training. These reforms apply to all government ministries, all local governments and all parastatals that use public funds. As part of the reform program described above, procurement legislation acceptable to the Association was signed into law on December 7, The Procurement Act establishes appropriate institutional and organizational arrangements as well as clear and transparent procurement rules and procedures to guide public procurement without room for discretionary decisions. The law will enhance economy and efficiency, transparency, equal opportunity to bidders, accountability and reduction of procurement-related corruption. 2

Local Government elections were subsequently held on May 22, 2004 with postponed elections for 6 remaining wards held June 5. Councillors were elected to 19 Local Councils, including 13 districts, 5 towns and the Freetown City Council.

Decentralisation specialists are on the job developing detailed plans for health, education and agricultural service decentralisation with line ministries. Civic education for stakeholders in agricultural decentralisation was completed in Kambia and began in Kono in November 2004, including 88 Masters Trainers covering all wards. The Ministry of Local Government conducted visits to all districts during November to further discuss roles and responsibilities between Local Councils and traditional authorities, especially on matters concerning finances. End 2004 The Human Rights Section of UNAMSIL in collaboration with local human rights organisation have developed programmes to start human rights training sessions for elected district councils in May 2005 to be completed in December.
